Hoskins (groin) is back in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.

Hoskins was out of the lineup for the previous four games due to a left groin injury, but he was able to make a pinch-hit appearance Monday. The issue appears to have subsided, as he'll man first base and bat second Tuesday.

Flores (back) went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's 11-8 extra-inning win over Arizona.

The veteran infielder didn't start the game, but he entered as part of a double switch in the fifth inning. Flores proceeded to go yard in the sixth -- his fifth homer in his last 14 games. Considering that the 29-year-old logged 5.2 innings in the field Monday, it shouldn't be too long before he's back in the starting nine.

Alonso went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

He took Jesus Luzardo deep in the third inning for the Mets' final run of the night. Alonso has been particularly dangerous since the All-Star break, slashing .292/.354/.611 over his last 18 games with seven of his 24 homers on the year.

Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a run-scoring sacrifice double play while adding a stolen base in a win over the Twins on Sunday.

Golschmidt bounced back from an increasingly rare 0-for-4 day Saturday and produced only his second and third RBI of the last 11 games. The veteran slugger has been highly productive otherwise in the second half of the season, posting a .290 average, .880 OPS, three doubles, four home runs, eight RBI, six walks, a pair of steals and eight runs across 15 post-All-Star-break contests.

Flores (back) is out of the lineup Monday against the Diamondbacks, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Flores is out of the starting nine for the second straight day after exiting Saturday's contest with soreness in his lower back, though he did appear as a pinch hitter Sunday. The 29-year-old figures to be available off the bench again Monday.

Wade (back) is not in the lineup Monday at Arizona, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Wade left Sunday's win over Houston with tightness in his lower back and will miss at least one game as a result. It's unclear whether the 29-year-old will be available off the bench Monday. Alex Dickerson will receive the start in left field while Darin Ruf works at first base.

Hoskins (groin) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

Hoskins continues to deal with a left groin injury, and he'll be held out of the lineup for a fourth consecutive game. Brad Miller will start at first base and bat fifth.

Bohm went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Pirates.

Bohm plated a run with a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, allowing Bryce Harper to cross home plate, and later added another one with an RBI groundout that scored J.T. Realmuto. The third baseman has hit safely in four straight games and is slashing .333/.412/.433 over his last 10 games.

The Rockies promoted Toglia from High-A Spokane to Double-A Hartford on Sunday, Dave Nichols of The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports.

During his time at Spokane, the switch-hitting first baseman slashed .234/.333/.465 with seven stolen bases and a High-A West-leading 17 home runs. The 6-foot-5, 226-pound Toglia has also drawn favorable reviews for his defensive work at first base in addition to his power production at the dish. He'll likely remain with Hartford for the rest of the season.

Cronenworth went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

After homering Saturday, Cronenworth knocked in two runs right away on a double in the first inning. In addition, he added another double and a single in the game. The 27-year-old is batting .258 over the month of July with three homers, 14 RBI and 18 runs. On the season, he is slashing .279/.351/.477, trailing only Fernando Tatis (79) on the team with 73 runs scored.
